Method and System for Representing an Exploration of Resources Over a Communication Network

摘要

In particular embodiments, a system and method for representing an exploration of resources over a communication network is disclosed. According to the embodiments, if a search query representing a target resource locator is received from a user, resources having links to the target resource locator are searched. Then, a data structure including a hierarchy of nodes and its graphical representation is generated for representing the resources each having a link to the target resource locator. The graphical representation may include a constellation map including a plurality of planets representing the resources each having a link to the target resource locator. Such data structure and graphical representation may be saved in a database for later retrieval. The system and method provides a user-friendly graphical representation of exploring resources linked to a target resource such as a webpage or a blog site managed by the user.
